As one of Britain's colonial countries, Malaysian education is based on the formation of the British educational foundation. In Malaysia education is divided into pre-school, primary, secondary, pre-university and higher education (university). The Ministry of Education is responsible for educational affairs up to secondary education while tertiary education is overseen by the Ministry of Higher Education Malaysia. The Malaysia government has invested heavily in the field of education, designed to create the core of transnational education to attract more international students. One of the well- known programs is EduCity Iskandar Malaysia. On his visit to Malaysia on 22 November 2015, China Prime Minister Li Keqiang has mentioned that Malaysia has the most complete bilingual education system in the world. It has trained countless bilingual talents and is very suitable as the first leg for the growing China mainland enterprises to the world.

Malaysia offers good quality but cost effective educational systems in both public and private institutions, making Malaysia one of the most preferred higher education destinations today.

Branch Campuses

World-class-universities have set up branch campuses that offer internationally recognised degrees in collaboration with universities abroad. These universities offer undergraduate and post-graduate degree programmes in Malaysia that are identical to their main campuses overseas.
